It's interesting that Cotten's website has separate inventory sections for Martin, Collings, Breedlove, Santa Cruz, etc., but lumps the Ovations under "Used Guitars & Such" with other mundane guitars like Taylors. ;) :D |

When I was in Nashville a couple years ago, I spent several hours there playing some very nice lefty acoustics; they let me take them back in a practice room and pick away! Very nice folks.
Wish I could've taken one home with me--one of the few Martins that made me weak in the knees; a very nice, $3K rosewood jumbo...what a cannon! |

| That is a great deal on the Heritage Sweet 16 archtop. I played one at a guitar show about 4 years ago and thought it was the nicest guitar I'd ever played. Now I just think it's the nicest archtop I ever played - I've met a U681 since then. |

Location: ms | Any of you guys find it odd that I talked to Kim at cotten about the 87, that was on consignment, and within a few days after I told her about this website, we have a new member talking up cotten music. Don't get me wrong, I'm always glad to welcome a new member, but come on waskel,moody,p.i., I got tons of grief from my beloved members, i.e. waskel, when I joined just because I had a 1868 for sale. I think the response was, "here is another hit and run". What has happened to the skeptics, this place used to be like the old David Letterman, now it seems more like Jay! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I think I do. For awhile when someone signed up just to sell an Ovation, or worse, try to find out how much it was worth, some of the old timers seemed to rip into him/her pretty good. Gulfcoast is an old timer now, but seems to remember. |

Location: closely held secret | Gulfcoast, I'm sorry if I haven't been as ascerbic and cynical lately. I guess I've been to busy to come out swinging. I'll try to do better after I get back. Hopefully I will be able to keep up occasionally while I'm gone. I'd hate to lose my touch... |

| "Rendition" is what the CIA/Military Intelligence call the special flights they use to ship suspect terrorists from somewhere that has signed the Geneva Convention, America say, to somewhere that hasn't, Afghanistan say, so that they can have their genitals plugged into the mains whilst listening to non-stop Barry Manilow. The British and German governments are both currently holding enquiries into the use of airfields in their countries to refuel these flights. Technically it makes them accomplices under International Law. That's why they are holding enquiries - to officially decide that they are not.

Brad wants a picture of me fending off a charging rhino with my Balladeer. Probably be more like me fending off a charging market vendor trying to sell me toasted grasshoppers. |
